Re: What did you pass up today? Summer '13

Saw some WT Forgiven twice today. Had a distributor that was at the store try and tell me it was awesome, told him $50 for 4 - 6 year old product with a funny story was a joke and he got quiet and didn't disagree.

Eagle Rare for $50? I was offered a taste from the bottom of a bottle - mighty smooth!
(Hey, waddayawant - it was a small taste)
The usual store price is $36 here and even that has been too high to whet my whistle, yet.

Saw a Hirsh 28yo Bourbon for a king's ransom.

How about a showdown? Eagle Rare for $36, Bulleit 10yo for $42 or FRSB for $45?

Passed up some Old Charter 10 year (43%), usually only see the 8 yr in New Mexico. I also passed up some handles of 80 proof Wild turkey with gold labels, not sure how dusty those are, would have snapped them right up if 101's. Finally I saw a very dusty and neglected bottle of Wild Turkey tradition for $120. I wasn't very tempted at that price especially since the same store had three bottles of EJBP (not passed up)!

$50 for ER is crazy. You should be able to get a 1.75L for just a bit more than that!
